Facilities
When Outward Bound first started in 1967, its facilities were spartan. Currently, OBS has two campuses, one at Pulau Ubin and the other at East Coast Park where both are centres for teenagers and National Service men. The facilities at the Pulau Ubin campus include a Peak Ascent Tower, tunnelling and caving system, inverse and tripod towers, rock climbing walls, teaching rooms and a 25-metre swimming pool for kayaking. The Pulau Ubin campus is located at two locations, with Campus 1 being larger than Campus 2. Depending on the course, Residential or Mobile, the campers either stay in the dormitories provided on campus or in tents on the school's ground respectively.
The other campus at East Coast Park, also known as SPARKc@Marine Parade, is located in the eastern area of the beach park. The campus caters more to children and adolescents in the development of their physical and mental abilities. The facilities at the East Coast campus include a Multi-Element Tower, tunnel/caving/maze system, rope courses, a tree house, dormitories for overnight campers, rock climbing walls and also learning studios.
